Things to do for July 06, 2016

The Weekender

A Rooftop Pool Party and Ice Cream for Dinner. Timely.

Wednesday

Rule #1 when it comes to chef’s knives: don’t skimp. That said, consider this set made with fiberglass handles and German steel blades. They’re lightweight and evenly balanced
with blades that are ultrathin and sturdy. Looks good, cuts great, end of story.

Thursday

ACID HOUSE

Eat Dinner Before This Art Show

Animal chef Vinny Dotolo put down the foie gras and biscuits to curate a 38-artist group show. Expect
sculpture, paintings and multimedia pieces dealing with food and LA living. And a reception tomorrow, where
Dotolo makes bone broth and you drink cocktails. Not that you’d go just for that.

Friday

HALAL THAT JAZZ

Always Double Down on Gyros and Pie

Friday shall be an important day for handheld foods. Because the Halal Guys are opening their Koreatown
location for white-sauce-y gyros. And Pie Hole is spawning a Hollywood location and doling out 250 gratis
mini-pies once the doors crack. Handheld foods needed this.

The Roof. The Roof. The Roof Is Underwater.

You’ve got your carpools. And your office pools. Then you’ve got your rooftop pools atop the W Hollywood
where you’ll hang out every Friday with white Negronis, DJs and everybody around you swimming until 2am.
That last one is the kind of pool all these words are about.

Saturday

REAL AMERICAN ZERO

Keep On Rocking in Century City

On Saturday night, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros will headline the first night of KCRW’s Sound in
Focus series in Century City. Admission is completely gratis and open to anyone who RSVPs. Which,
coincidentally, was your cue to RSVP.

Tuesday

CONE HEADS

Eight Courses of Ice Cream. You Earned This.

Years ago, you made a wish. Next week, it comes true. An eight-course dinner with ice cream inside every
dish. Chef Kyle Schutte is preparing things like pork belly with lemongrass ice cream and sushi rice ice
cream to go with uni. You merely had to believe.
